Towie’s Carol Wright becomes last member of her family to quit reality show
Mark was first to part ways with the ITVBe series before his sister Jess also left the programme
TOWIE star Carol Wright has become the last member of her family to quit the reality programme, The Sun’s Bizarre column can exclusively reveal.
She has followed in the footsteps of show originals Mark and Jess who also parted ways with the ITVBe series.
Carol’s mum Nanny Pat was also a much-loved character on the show before she sadly passed away in 2015 following a short illness.
Sources close to Carol have revealed that she felt out of place following Lydia and Debbie Bright’s departures.
A TV source said: “Carol has decided to end her time with the show.
“She didn’t feel like she had a full time place on Towie since Debbie and Jess left as she used to film a lot of her scenes with them.
“The show has much more of an open door policy and would happily welcome back Carol when it’s appropriate for a storyline.
“Bosses would never say no to a Wright cameo or return in the future.”
Carol joined Towie in 2011 during its second series, where Mark and his then-girlfriend Lauren Goodger were central to the show’s main storyline.
Over Mark’s third series on the show, he was seen splitting up with long-term love Lauren, getting back with her then asking her to marry him – before breaking up again.
He also had flings with Lucy Mecklenburgh and Sam Faiers during his time on the show.
He found fame on the programme when it first hit screens – before becoming a household name on I’m A Celeb and fronting ITV2 spin-off show The Gossip.
His sister Jess quit Towie in 2016 after five years on the show.
She shared the news on her Instagram telling her followers: “I’ve had the best time and I wanna say thank you all so much for your support.”
